Has Anyone Experienced Something Called A "brain Fog"?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

It's like being in a fog hence "brain fog" I can't concentrate and my mind just goes into overload I can't finish a thought and on occasion I stutter. I can talk on the phone with a friend and it feels like I fall asleep for a split second and wake up and forget my train of thought all while still talking. It's scary and considering I have a full-time job it's really not a good thing to have.

Luckily my husband knows me that well he can finish every sentence that I can't! I have A-Levels in English language and (without blowing own trumpet!) have always been an extremely good speller but lately I have had situations when I can't spell even the simplest of words. It's not all the time but enough for me to notice. Anyone else noticing this? I lose train of thought all the time and can't remember things that happened even yesterday. My husband loves it as he gets to watch movies over and over as I can't remember watching them the first time! When fibro fog is particularly bad, I find jotting more important things down in a little notebook helps. Lots of gentle hugs to all xx

I'm on Adderall for severe fatigue and it's a great med for fibro fog. Within an hour, all my confusion and brain stupidity goes away. Provigil is a less addictive cousin.
